In the year 2020, the hopes raised by the ‘Abraham Accords’ signed between the four small, but important Arab countries and Israel is now beginning to collapse. Due to the efforts of former US President Donald Trump, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain signed the ‘Abraham Accord’ peace treaty with Israel in September 2020, which was the largest peace agreement in the Arab world after the Israel-Jordan peace treaty of 1994. But in mid-April 2021, Al-Aqsa Mosque conflict in Jerusalem, has started taking the form of a war and violent clashes between the Jewish and Arab communities there. Just on the morning of October 7 this year, the militant group Hamas attacked Israeli soldiers from the occupied territory of Palestine, killing more than 200 people. It is said that Hamas had murdered and kidnapped many of Israelis in the Suprise attack. According to Hamas, this is their revenge from Israel for desecrating Al-Aqsa Mosque by sending its soldiers in the year 2021. From astrological point of view, Mars and Ketu had formed on October 3rd, the explosive conjunction. Since then, there was a fear of some major violent incident. But the question arises that amid the recent news of Israel moving towards a peace treaty with Saudi Arabia, why these violent incidents took place in West Asia ? Will the Israel-Palestine conflict destroy the ‘Abrahm Accords’ of September 2020? What impact will the conflict between Israel and Palestine have on India? Let us look at these future fears from the perspective of astrology.
Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of Israel
Israel’s foundation horoscope is set for Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948 at 4 pm. In this horoscope of Virgo ascendant, Mars is sitting in the 12th house of loss and giving aspect to the third house of bravery, sixth house of dispute and seventh house of war. From its foundation time itself, this country was surrounded by enemies. In the years 1948, 1967 and 1973, Arab countries attacked Israel and faced defeat every time. In the foundation horoscope of Israel, the lord of 4th and 7th house is Jupiter which is in its own house in Sagittarius, lying in the fourth house, and making an auspicious ‘Hamsa Maha Purusha Yoga’. The aspect of Venus on this Jupiter has made Israel a technologically advanced nation that never faced a defeat in war. The aspect of Saturn-Moon from the eleventh house of gains on the fifth house of higher education has made Israel the leading nation in the world in science and technology. The conjunction of lagna lord and 10th lord Mercury with the 12th house (foreign) Sun in the ninth house of foreign support helped Israel getting a lot of foreign aid from USA and England due to which there there was never any shortage of resources in this nation. Also notice the strong 5th and 9th house in the Navamsha and Dashamsha charts of Israel which made him a leading power in science and technology in the world.
Israel got entangled in the difficult Maha Dasha of Rahu
Currently, the 18 year long Vimshottari Mahadasha of Rahu sitting in the eighth house in the Virgo ascendant horoscope of Israel has started from the month of February this year. In the same year, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved a bill to control the appointment of judges in the country’s judiciary and changing the decisions of the judiciary by a simple parliamentary majority which was heavily opposed by public then. There was widespread public protects to oppose this move of Netanyahu who himself has been facing corruption changes since 2019. Netanyahu also removed his Defense Minister from his post who was opposting to these government decisions to control judiciary and it lead to the reduced morale of the armed forces. Taking advantage of this political instability in Israel, the militant group Hamas has made the biggest attack in the region since 1973 Yum Kippur War. A major attack was carried out on the 7th of October which was the festival days in Israel. It is worth noting here that in the horoscope of Israel, Saturn transiting in the eighth house from the natal Moon in Cancer is giving astrological indication of change of power along with sorrow and pain for them.
Student of astrology would have also noticed that transiting Mars and Ketu are in the 2nd house of the Virgo lagna horoscope of Israel at present and Rahu is transiting at the 8th house of destruction from the sign Aries along with Jupiter which is retrograde in transit at present. This unhelpful condition of transit and the Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu-Rahu-Jupiter (13 July 2023 to 22 November 2023) has put Israel in a dangerous war with various terrorist groups.
Chart 2. Hamas Attack on Israel
As per the news reports Hamas started attack on Israel territory at 06:30 am local time from Gaza Strip. The horoscope cast for that time gives Virgo lagna with Mercury, Sun and Gulika in the lagna. Jupiter as the 7th lord (war) is in the 8th house and getting the aspect of retrograde Saturn from the 6th house of conflict and the lord of 8th house (destruction) Mars which is sitting in the 2nd house a ‘Maraka Bhava’. In Vimshottari Jupiter Maha Dasha and Ketu Anter Dasha is running in this chart till 15 January 2024. The ketu is in the 2nd house along with 8th lord Mars shows a major diplomatic crisis and geopolitical tensions which may force many Arab countries to call off their diplomates from Israel.
Is Israel trapped by Netanyahu’s mistakes?
Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been the Prime Minister of Israel more than five times since 1996, has been facing corruption allegations for some years now and just earlier this year he was facing heavy pressure to resign. 21 October 1949 Born at 10:15 am in Tel Aviv, then capital of Israel, the horoscope of Netanyahu is of Scorpio Ascendant. Currently, the Vimshottar dasha of Mercury Anter Dasha of Saturn and Pratyanter Dasha of Venus is going on in his horoscope between August 2023 to February 2024. For a Scorpio ascendant native Mercury, Saturn and Venus are the three most unhelpful planets as they are functional malefic for this lagna. But due to Mercury being in its sign Virgo in the 11th house of gains and Saturn being 3rd lord (velour) in conjunction with the ascendant and 6th lord Mars in the tenth house of power , will give him victory in the war against the militant groups of Hamas, Hizbollah and her enemy Lebanon.
Chart 3. Horoscope of Benjamin Netanyahu
The dangerous conjunction of Mars and Ketu, which is currently transiting in the eighth house of Israel’s ascendant and in the sixth house of violence in Netanyahu’s horoscope, is an indication of this war going on intermittently for the next 20 days i.e by the end of October this year. The Vimshottari Dasha of Mercury and Anter Dasha of Saturn is sensative for the position of Benjamin Netanyahu as both these Dasha lords are in 2/12 position in birth chart, and they are in 6/8 position in his Navamsha chart. Moreover, Saturn in the 10th house is known to give sudden rise and fall is a classical principal of “Mundane Astrology”.
Chart 4. Annual horoscope of Benjamin Netanyahu
22 October 2023, 09:24 am at Tel Aviv, Israel
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to complete 74 years of age during the month of October this year. His annual horoscope (Varsha Kundali) is getting Scorpio rising at the ascendant which is the “Dwi-Janma” horoscope for him. As per Tajik Neelkhanti, a classical texts on annual horoscope, if the sign of Janma lagna rise in the annual horoscope then that year is highly sensitive for the native. In the Scorpio lagna annual horoscope of Benjamin Neyanyahu the 10th lord Sun falls in the 12th house of losses. The ‘Muntha’ i.e. progressed lagna is in 3rd house along with Moon but the aspect of malefic Mars over is is not good for his health and position both. The Muntha lord (Munthesh) is Saturn which is with Gulika. majority of planets in the 12th house in the annual horoscope of Benjamin Netanyahu indicate his fall from the position which is likely any time before October 2024.
Next year , due to a weak annual horoscope, Netanyahu may have to resign from his post. The proposed peace treaty between Israel and Saudi Arabia also seems to be on the back burner. Along with this, due to the inauspicious condition of Rahu Maha Dasha , in the foundation horoscope of Israel it is likely that Abraham Accord peace treaty may break down in the next two years. Israel will win his war against Hamas, Hezbollah and Lebanon but it will also have to pay heavily as the transiting Saturn is moving from the 8th house of its natal Moon. It will take 20 days to 2 months for Israel to win this war and some compromise will be reached with the help of Egypt then.
Relations between India and Israel have been very good since India had opened its embassy in Tel Aviv in 1992. India also has good trade and cultural relations with Arab countries. Due to tension between Arab countries and Israel , in the next few months It is natural that the increase in oil prices will have an adverse effect on the Indian economy . The inauspicious conjunction of Saturn and Rahu in the middle of the year 2025 will once again create a situation of war between Israel and Palestine, which will have a negative impact on oil prices. In the foundation horoscope of India due to the auspicious Vimshottari Dasha of Moon in the horoscope of Taurus ascendant till September 2025, India’s relations with Arab countries will be good. But after September 2025 the difficult Vimshottari Dasha of Mars will bring some tension in India’s relations with the Arab world.
